Sepaton Inc., a Marlborough-based data protection and security firm, said it had joined the Green Grid, a nonprofit consortium of IT companies that wants to reduce power consumption in data centers.

Sepaton is in the data “de-duplication” business, which is aimed at reducing the dependence on tape for data back-up. The company and others say it’s possible to back up more data on fewer disks, which would cut down on the amount of electricity used in data centers.

Very cool, I was talking with a guy about backups, they’d been looking at disk storage for the backups to move away from tapes not only for the energy efficiency point but also to reduce their reliance on tape media. Regardless tapes are here for the foreseeable future, in the meantime, this company is joining the Green Grid.
